WASHINGTON, March 30, 2016 -- A report was released today about Bisphenol A (BPA) and its presence in food can linings. The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation published a review on BPA and the science behind the headlines.
The world's top food safety authorities, including both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have reviewed extensive science around BPA and confirmed repeatedly that there is zero threat to human health and safety.
BPA (and any substitutes) are used in can liners because, without a liner, metal cans get corroded or punctured. This increases the risk of foodborne illness. Packaging serves an important food safety function – it protects food from contaminants and keeps food fresh.
